Abstract Objective:  Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery, which significantly worsens prognosis. This study aimed to identify preoperative and intraoperative factors independently associated with POP in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) trigger a systemic inflammatory response. To understand the underlying mechanisms behind the biological reactions during CPB, rat models that mimic clinical CPB..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequent in cardiac surgery and are associated with higher morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospitalization, and increased healthcare costs. Several patient- and procedure-related factors have..

Abstract Wound healing after myocardial infarction (MI) is a dynamic and multifaceted process that links the molecular alterations induced by or in response to prolonged ischemia with structural and physiological..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Audiovisual recording technology, referred to as the Operating Room Black Box (ORBB), is increasingly adopted in operating rooms (ORs) across several countries. It is described as beneficial, with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Since the use of heparin reversed by protamine is the gold standard for anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), a documented allergy to protamine represents a serious challenge for cardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Andexanet alfa, a Gla-domainless mutant factor Xa (GDXa), reverses oral FXa inhibitors but can cause severe heparin resistance during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Antithrombin (AT) supplementation may mitigate this..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a crucial modality in managing severe cardiac and respiratory failure; however, nosocomial infections and complex antimicrobial prescribing challenges may accompany its..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Protamine is administered to reverse unfractionated heparin (UFH) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but dosing strategies—typically based on protamine-to-heparin (P:H) ratios—vary, and the minimal effective dose remains unclear. Reversal..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Despite significant advancements in critical care practice and extracorporeal technology, refractory hypoxia remains a persistent clinical challenge during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). To demonstrate a systematic, algorithmic pathway for..
